A selection of the best spots to climb during winter in Siurana.
In Siurana you can climb all year. If you know where to go and at what time, this paradise of orange rock, always has a good sector to enjoy climbing, either in the middle of summer or in the middle of winter.
Those super cold days, with single digit temperatures and north winds winds, Siurana offers a good variety of crags to shelter and enjoy climbing. Here is a selection of our favorite sectors for the coldest days of the year.
La Reina Mora, is a sector with lots of sun and quite sheltered from the wind. In addition, this sector is better to visit on very cold days, since its climbing routes tend to be very vertical, technical and with very small holds, being better to climb here the days of more friction. Here you will find routes from 5th to 8b, of excellent quality, although the sector will be enjoyed more if your level goes from 6b to 7c.
Can Toni Gros, sector of medium-grade routes between 6b and 7b, of very good quality and perhaps a little less crowded than La Reina Mora. In the sun, sheltered from the wind and fast approach. It is an excellent sector and worth a visit.
Grau of the Massets. Here we have three options: Grau de Massets Baix, Cami and Esquerra. The three are sheltered from the wind and the walls remain in the sun until around 3pm, but keep in mind that the base of the routes is usually between trees, so if it is very cold, the belayer will freeze. Here there is variety of grades from the 4th to the 8a/b.
Corral Nou, a not very frequented sector but with excellent climbing. It is in the sun and although its approach is a little longer, it is worth a visit. Grades range from 5th to 8th and it is in the sun all day. A excellent option for the busier days in Siurana.
This is a selection of our favorite places to climb in winter in Siurana, the coldest and windiest days. If the wind is not so strong you have classic sectors such as Espero Primavera, El Pati, Siuranella Central or Herbolari, but you must have in mind that these sites are usually quite crowded and therefore you must deal with a large number of people in the sectors.

My goal coming to Spain was to get out for a couple days rock climbing with my family. I’m a fairly accomplished climber but the mechanics of trying to take the family out on my own. Mariano our guide was the perfect example of what a guide should be, he was quick to set up and take down the climbs, had the perfect eye for challenging but achievable routes for the family, was friendly, great with the kids, a just an all around good guy. I can’t recommend this company enough, and am already planning my return trip to Spain to climb with them.
(Translated by Google) I decided to give my 8 and 10 year old children a climbing baptism for the whole family and it has been a brutal experience!! We got to know Arbolí, one of the most important climbing areas in the Serra de Prades where we enjoyed nature and adrenaline in equal parts. The monitor Sara de 10, a great professional who made us feel safe at all times. 100% recommendable!!!

(Translated by Google) Santi is one of the best guides I've met, I did the sport climbing course with him, the long route course and I also went for a couple of days to do sport climbing. He has always been very kind and friendly, the explanations he gives are clear and very useful. He knows the areas he goes to perfectly and gives very good recommendations to return there on your own.
(Original) Santi és un dels millors guies que he conegut, he fet amb ell el curs d'escalada esportiva, el de via llarga i també he anat un parell de dies a fer esportiva. Sempre ha segut molt amable i amistós, les explicacions que dona son clares i molt útils. Coneix perfectament les zones on va i dona molt bones recomanacions per tornar-hi pel teu compte.
(Translated by Google) I did the introductory climbing course and the experience was very rewarding. With no knowledge of climbing I felt accompanied and safe at all times. Santi is a great teacher and you can see both his passion and his involvement. Very motivational and understanding. Totally recommended even for people without knowledge or practice.
(Original) Hice el curso de iniciación a la escalada y la experiencia fué muy gratificante. Con nulos conocimientos de escalada me sentí en todo momento acompañado y seguro.
